Devotion

When We Yield
 
Psalm 51:10-12 (NIV) Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
 

We initiate our receiving of God’s forgiveness for our sins when we acknowledge our sins without trying to justify them. We most often are guilty of sins that we aren’t even consciously aware of. All of us are sinners – both the saved and the unsaved. But we don’t have to live in sin. Jesus has made a way for us to repent of our sins and be forgiven. It is when we yield our lives to the authority of our Savior that our hearts can be cleansed with the pureness of His ways, His truth, and His life. We can be revived.
